    Someone correct me if I'm blatantly wrong, but I believe
    "/etc/openldap/ldap.conf" is the OpenLDAP server configuration file,
    whereas "/etc/ldap.conf" is read by processes that want to use LDAP, for
    example the LDAP PAM module.

    I would just install the OpenLDAP server RPMs, then use "ntsysv" to add
    "slapd" to your default runlevel. Or, execute "/etc/init.d/slapd start"
    to start the LDAP server immediately. If you're interested in a nice
    interface to LDAP, I like the web-based PHPLdapAdmin client:
    http://phpldapadmin.sf.net

    If these don't work, or you have a more specific question to ask with
    regards to OpenLDAp not working (e.g. "I try to start OpenLDAP and I get
    this error message") then please repost to the list with more detail.
